The Reichstag Fire of 27 February, 1933
When we described the aftermath of Turkey's failed, and painfully disorganized military coup attempt, we asked rhetorically, "Who wins?" To which we answered: "Why Erdogan of course. As he said during a press conference upon his arrival back in Istanbul in the early Saturday morning hours, the coup is an opportunity to "to purge the military." Erdogan also vowed to exact "the highest price" from the perpetrators. Or, to summarize, the military said Erdogan's power consolidation justifies the attempted coup; Erdogan said the coup justifies further consolidation of power."
Overnight, when analyzing the market's take of the coup, Renaissance Capital's Michael Harris said that "for markets to respond positively, we think Erdogan must go the reconciliation route, pledging not to hold elections for the coming year and committing to a consensus approach to constitutional change. More likely, though, Erdogan will seek to leverage this into a constitutional super-majority via a snap election."
Their conclusion: "A military coup has failed, but if Erdogan responds to this historic moment the wrong way, a democratic coup could be the result."
Not surprisingly, as of this morning, Erdogan is indeed responding to this historic moment the "wrong way." But before we get to that point, there are questions whether this coup was even that.
As a NYT analyst on the ground pointed out, confirming what we said last night, the planning, organization and implementation of the attempted military overthrow were suspect at best and outright laughable at worst:

Erdogan is an Islamic psychopath.
And this is who Obama is telling the world is a courageous hero.
The terror that Erdogan is unleashing (mass arrests, torture, etc) no doubt inspires Obama.
Obama is copiously taking notes and adding yellow highlights.
Martial Law 4 Dummiez!
This is pretty much what Obola did.
From gateway pundit this can get ugly pretty fast .
BREAKING: TURKEY Seals Off Incirlik Air Base Used by US to Fight ISIS – POWER CUT!
Jim Hoft Jul 16th, 2016 2:15 pm
Incirlik Air Base in Turkey has been placed on lockdown. The base is used by US, UK, Saudi and Turkish forces to run airstrikes against ISIS.
Obozo has purged many generals already.
“Erdogan said the coup justifies further consolidation of power.”
There you have it!!
All I know is if Obama saved this clown’s butt by refusing help to the military... he is bad news for the USA.
Purges. Firing squads. The Caliphate takes form and Obama can play the equivalent of the Court jester over there when he’s finished wrecking it up here.
What a lovely psychotic stare Erdogan has.
I have seven Turkish-born friends. They hate Erdogan with amazing passion!
That seems to run in presidents these days.
I sure hope people conclude the OBVIOUS here, that this coup was STAGED so Erdogan could drop the hammer on his dissenters.
Oddly timed to occur immediately after the ISIS attack in Nice, France.. Right at the time when the world was FINALLY ready to TOTALLY ELIMINATE ISIS ONCE AND FOR ALL. Oh well, don't look to Turkey (or the U.S.) to help with THAT now. How convenient.
Erdogan wins is 0dunga wins is ISIS wins.
This was a setup by the Turkey dictator to accumulate more power
and to purge secularist.
Islam is a doctrine of death, inasmuch as the spiritual not being separated from the temporal, and every manifestation of activity being subjected to dogmatic law, it formally forbids any change, any evolution, any progress. It condemns all believers to live, to think, and to act as lived, thought and acted the Musulmans of the second century of the Hegira [8th century A.D.], when the law of Islam and its interpretation were definitely fixed.

Something felt all wrong about this “coup” which is why I didn’t get too excited about it.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Are we supposed to believe those 2700 judges were all involved in the coup? How many judges does Turkey have anyway?
You know he’s going to go full-on Hitler and start executing them but we’ll never hear about it because the MSM will cover it up. We’ll also never hear about the real reason the coup was attempted, only that it was some mentally disturbed guy living in asylum in the U.S. If Erdogan was planning something truly evil and the coup was initiated to stop it, we’ll never hear about that. The peace treaty in Israel is probably in the works along with the rebuilding of the temple but the atheists will still say God doesn’t exist despite everything that’s happening that was foretold in prophecy. Only when the AntiChrist and the two witnesses appear and start doing miracles that defy explanation will they even take notice. It’s coming. You can feel it.
